Google nest with 2 AAA batteries

Jkjk65 — Fri, 13 Oct 2023 20:01:39 GMT

I have a Google nest thermostat with two AAA batteries.

If the batteries die, will my AC and heat still turn on.
Can I use a 24 V transformer on this model for common wire power.

@Jkjk65

If no C wire is installed and the batteries die, the thermostat will not work.

How is the thermostat wired?

Is there a C wire installed?

Yes, you can use an external 24vac transformer, but you must also use the Nest Power Connector.

Not sure how the house is wired into vacation house in Florida which I was going to in January.
For the transformer, what is a nest power connector & where do I get one?
